A Brilliant Children's Book on Ecological Bird Feeding in Summer
Bladlusjakten "The Aphid Hunt" illustrates the diversity of insects and life that thrives in fields that are not sprayed and where there is variation in the surrounding landscape. While pesticide use isn’t mentioned in the book, it immediately throws us into an exciting world of terrifying aphids and hungry predators like swallows and ladybugs.
It is this abundance of insects that is so crucial for swallows, skylarks, yellowhammers, and many other birds when they need to feed their young.
